AIPROW's Medical Outreach Aids Over 1,500 in Delta State

More than 1,500 residents of Ibusa in Oshimili North Local Government Area of Delta State benefited from a three-day program organized by the Association of Ibusa Professional Women (AIPROW) in collaboration with the Ibusa Association, United States of America. The outreach included a career talk on the girl-child mandate, a mental health seminar, and a free medical outreach.

The medical outreach provided free consultations, vital signs checks, blood sugar tests, eye screening, and cancer screening, attracting residents from Ibusa and neighboring communities. AIPROW President Mrs. Elizabeth Idigbe noted that the turnout exceeded expectations, prompting the mobilization of additional medical personnel.

The eye-screening section was particularly popular, with Vision Springs donating 200 eyeglasses. The Light Diabetes Organisation supported blood sugar testing, which exhausted materials after over 400 screenings.

The event underscored the community's demand for accessible healthcare services and posed crowd management challenges for the organizers.
